Update on use of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Biosci Trends. 2020 May 21;14(2):156-158

Authors: Gao J, Hu S

Abstract
Drugs that are specifically efficacious against SARS-CoV-2 have yet to be established. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have garnered considerable attention for their potential to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Increasing evidence obtained from completed clinical studies indicates the prospects for chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. More randomized control clinical studies are warranted to determine the feasibility of these two drugs in treating COVID-19.
